Odyssey Capital recently announced its deepened focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and distressed asset investment, combining innovative technology with financial strategies to reshape the future of asset management. This strategy marks Odyssey Capital’s further embrace of tech-driven investment models, moving beyond traditional investment methods to create greater value for global investors.
As an institution focused on high-potential, high-return investment opportunities, Odyssey Capital has demonstrated exceptional performance in the global distressed asset market in recent years. Amid heightened global economic volatility and the growing scale of distressed assets, Odyssey Capital has astutely capitalized on this trend and decided to further strengthen its investment strategy in this field. Meanwhile, the company revealed its plan to integrate AI technology throughout the asset management process to improve investment efficiency, optimize risk control, and create greater value for investors.
AI Empowering Distressed Asset Investment
The CEO of Odyssey Capital stated, “AI technology is changing the game for the financial industry.” In distressed asset investment, AI can help us more accurately assess asset value, predict market trends, and optimize asset disposal strategies.
Specifically, Odyssey Capital will leverage AI technology for the following innovations:
Asset Valuation and Risk Assessment: Using machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data, AI will rapidly assess the market value and potential risks of distressed assets. Traditional asset valuation relies on manual analysis and experience, while AI can offer a more objective and precise valuation model by analyzing historical data, market trends, and macroeconomic indicators.
Intelligent Asset Matching: An AI-powered platform will accurately match assets with potential buyers, shortening disposal cycles and improving transaction efficiency. Odyssey Capital is developing an AI-based asset trading platform that can analyze buyers’ needs and preferences in real-time and recommend the most suitable asset combinations.
Market Forecasting and Decision Support: Using AI models to predict macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and asset prices, Odyssey Capital will provide scientific foundations for investment decisions. For example, AI can analyze policy changes, market sentiment, and industry dynamics in major global economies to forecast the future trends of the distressed asset market, helping investors formulate more informed investment strategies.
Opportunities and Challenges in the Distressed Asset Market
In recent years, global economic uncertainty has increased, leading to a rise in corporate bankruptcies and a significant growth in distressed assets. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global distressed asset market surpassed $2 trillion in 2024. Odyssey Capital believes this market holds immense investment opportunities, particularly in regions such as China, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
In China, as economic structural adjustments and financial deleveraging continue, the volume of non-performing loans in the banking system is on the rise. According to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, by the second quarter of 2024, the non-performing loan balance of Chinese commercial banks had exceeded 3 trillion yuan. Odyssey Capital has been particularly active in this market, achieving significant returns through acquiring distressed asset portfolios, participating in debt restructuring, and asset securitization.
In Southeast Asia, many businesses are still recovering from the pandemic, leading to a continued expansion of distressed assets. Odyssey Capital has actively engaged in markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand, collaborating with local financial institutions to acquire and dispose of distressed assets.
In Europe, the energy crisis and inflationary pressures have weakened the profitability of many businesses, increasing the volume of distressed assets. Odyssey Capital has ramped up investments in markets like Germany, Italy, and Spain, focusing on distressed assets in real estate, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
AI Technology Use Cases
Odyssey Capital has already achieved remarkable success in applying AI technology. For instance, in a distressed asset disposal project with a major Chinese bank, Odyssey Capital utilized AI to rapidly assess thousands of loans in an asset portfolio, identify high-value assets, and formulate precise disposal strategies. The project ultimately achieved an annualized return rate of over 20%, far surpassing the industry average.
In Southeast Asia, Odyssey Capital used AI platforms to conduct in-depth analyses of local real estate market supply and demand. This led to the successful acquisition of undervalued commercial real estate projects. With the support of AI, Odyssey Capital quickly completed asset renovations and repositioning, resulting in a significant increase in asset value.
Odyssey Capital plans to expand its investment in AI and distressed assets to $5 billion over the next three years. The company will also collaborate with leading global technology firms, financial institutions, and academic organizations to drive AI technology application in asset management.
The CEO emphasized, “We believe that the combination of AI and distressed asset investment will herald a new era for asset management. Odyssey Capital will continue to drive innovation to create long-term, sustainable returns for investors.”
Additionally, Odyssey Capital plans to establish an AI laboratory focused on cutting-edge research in financial technology. The lab will focus on AI applications in asset management, including natural language processing, image recognition, and blockchain technology. Through collaborations with top global research institutions, Odyssey Capital aims to become a leader in the financial technology field.
